About: I offer a calm, clean, and supervised home environment for boarding. My fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for potty breaks and outdoor play, and the covered screened patio gives pets a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air while staying protected from the weather and insects. I also have a quiet dining room that can be sectioned off for pets who need their own comfortable, low-stimulation area. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. My experience is also from fostering senior and foster dogs I work full time and my available days do change at times. I would love to talk to you and see if my schedule works with yours. On the weekends I typically stay home. I have a chihuahua mix. I do have a fenced in backyard. I also walk client's dogs around the neighborhood and nearby dog friendly parks.
“Valerie was awesome! My cat can be super temperamental so it’s hard to find someone she will be comfortable with and understands how to let her do things in her own time. I definitely recommend Valerie!”
“This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything went and will continue with Lisa in the future. Thank you for sites like this that put pet owners in touch with capable people willing to help us when we are in need. 🤩”
About: Apart from owning and being around dogs my entire life, I also have experience outside that. I recently was employed by a dog boarding kennel near by where I learned about all different dogs and their needs! I am a Licensed Esthetician which means I have great control over my schedule! My schedule is very flexible to take care and give your furry friends some extra love & attention! When first arriving I make sure the animal is comfortable first! I let them sniff me and feel out the vibe. I also make sure to read their vibe if they want space of extra cuddles!
“Cheryl did a great job taking care of my somewhat persnickety cat, Dottie while we were away for a week. She came by every day and even helped me out by watering my plants one day, which was a huge help. We got cute pics of Dottie and I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. Would definitely use Cheryl again.”
About: Dog lover who has raised and fostered puppies, plus hands-on experience with Shelties, Border Collies, and Pitties. I get the whole range - potty training, crate training, chewing phase, and socialization for puppies, plus brain games for herding breeds and big cuddles for pitties. I do frequent potty breaks, structured walks, enrichment, feeding, meds, and lots of photo updates. Comfortable with high energy, barkers, shy pups, and strong love bugs. Your dog gets their routine kept and a tired, happy brain. I have open availability 7 days a week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests are all good with me. Puppies and kittens welcome for multiple visits a day. In your home I follow your exact routine so your pets feel safe and your home is respected. For dogs I do on-leash walks with a secure harness, poop bags and water, sniff walks for enrichment, feeding on schedule, crate time as instructed, play, and clean up. I avoid retractable leashes and dog parks unless you approve, I wipe paws, and I secure your home when I leave. For cats and kittens I do fresh food and water, scoop and clean litter boxes, play and enrichment, brushing if needed, and meds or eye drops if needed. For bottle babies and young kittens I follow your feeding chart, keep them warm, and clean them up. I keep cat and dog areas separate if needed, I never let cats outside unless you approve, and I keep everything tidy. You get an update after every visit with photos, what they ate, potty and litter details, and how they played and rested.
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
About: I have cared for many critters of all shapes and sizes. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, and more exotic pets like bearded dragons. As of right now I have two cats and three dogs all of whom I love very much. All of my pets are rescues and thus they all have a range of needs. - My first dog Poe has had multiple back surgeries so I used to caring for dogs with mobility issues. -The second dog is a pitbull named renault (Ren-O), she has poor impluse control so I am well versed in dogs that tend to just act and not think. - The final dog is Diesel, he is a German Shepered that was treated very poorly before he was resuced so I understand how to work with dogs who have severe anxiety. - I have also dog sat for a friend and his dog was very territorial and would bite at me (not hard). While not ideal I have interacted with more intense dogs. I have class at PSC on tuesdays and thursdays in the morning so monday night and wednesday night I get to bed earlier but other than that I am available! Class schedule means I am busy from 7:30-3:30 on T/TH Above all else I like to may sure the animals under my care are comfortable. If that means picking them up and carrying them up stairs or just giving them space then I will do so. As mentioned above I am used to pets whose needs may require more work but absolutely okay with that.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over five years, turning a lifelong love for pets into a reliable, full-service pet sitting business.

Owners count on me for complete peace of mind, knowing their pets are getting constant companionship, playtime, and daily photo updates while they're away. Whether it’s maintaining strict routines or offering extra belly rubs, I treat every animal like family.

I work a short 3-hour morning shift with Amazon, which leaves the rest of my day completely open to focus on what I love most: caring for your furry family members. I have a big fenced in yard to let my furry friends roam. I can also crate your pets if you’d like. I love to let them roam free in my home and feel like it’s their own so they are as comfortable as possible
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for dogs both personally and professionally, including providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs with different routines and needs, from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I’m attentive to their behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both the pets and their owners to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am usually available in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can figure out a schedule that works best for you! I live in a safe apartment and will always have your dogs on a leash. I will make sure the dog is in the crate and safe if that is requested.
“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Walton Beach
This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with the care Kristin provided while looking after our cat. She took great care of Simba while we were away giving us peace of mind. We highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive and genuinely caring pet sitter! Would definitely use her again 🐈⬛
Nancy was great! She was very thorough in her initial meeting with our boys. She wanted to make sure she had all the information about how to care for the boys. We didn’t have any issues with the check-ins and she gave very good updates for each day she saw them. We would definitely recommend Nancy!
Kathryn was so amazing! She sent daily pictures and updates to me, giving me peace of mind & security. I also had to cut my trip short and she was so sweet and accommodating! I’m def booking with her in the future! You can tell that she really cares and loves what she does :)
Rebecca is a natural to calm and give sweet assurance to my kitty. Rebecca is the best. It been two trips I had to take for my job. First trip 16 days gone. I felt completely assured my BeBe was well taken care of. Videos were great to see my kitty interact with Rebecca.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.
Kendall was great with my cats! Normally when we come home from a trip they seem agitated, but after having Kendall check on them they were happy, calm and seemed like they got a mini vacation too. Would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
